I have a Gateway SX2802-01 and I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card.
I've already upgraded the hard drive to 1TB and maxed out the RAM at 8GB.
Can anyone tell me what my options are for the best graphic cards compatible with my system?
I'm looking for a complete compatibility list so I can choose the best option within my budget.

I appreciate any help in figuring this out, including best places to purchase.

Main Circuit Board__
Board: Gateway WG43M

I'm guessing at 220W power supply, I have fewer options..?
I don't do any gaming, but I'm looking for the best possible performance in Photoshop, video, and 3D software.
Currently, I'm experiencing screen noise and frequent lag.

What are my options within the 220W power supply?
What are my options with a bigger power supply?

Screen noise? Are your display drivers up to date? Are you on 64bit windows? if so here is the link:

The form factor necessitates the use of a low or slim profile graphics card, however, and there aren’t too many modern graphics cards available in such a format, though if you're willing to settle for an ATI Radeon HD4650 or NVIDIA GeForce 9600 (or possibly an 9800GT with some modification). You wouldn't need a new PSU with this solution.
